At 5'10", the start was definitely only a mental crux. The first bolt could be comfortably clipped during the lean-across. The first few moves to get onto the wall are completely straightforward. Good route.

A bit of history as I remember it...The routes name is Cantaloupe of Death. The name referred to a large knob near the top that we couldn't believe didn't pull out and conk one on the head causing death. I remember laughing myself silly over the seeming absurdity of it. Actually, the rock on this route is as good as it gets in the Monument. Ed Barry, Yabo and I did the FA. I guess it was my idea. Eddie and I, being Bay Area climbers, had a long history of climbing at Pinnacles. All my early leads were done there. My first 5.10 was a top rope ascent of No Holds Barred. Blair Glen, Barry Bates and I nearly did the FA on top rope of Feed the Beast in 1972. It was right below the rap anchor from the Monolith so we gave it a shot. Got to some large knobs just below the top. It was so steep! Don't know why we didn't go back and finish it off. Barry was climbing with a simple bowline tied around his waist. In January of 1973 Eddie and I did the FFA ascents of the Roof and the Hatchet. Yosemite pulled us away from Pinnacles for quite a few years but when we began to revisit it (mid to late eighties??)we always ended up at the Monolith. We liked to warm up by traversing along the base below the Regular route and Feed the Beast. One couldn't help but notice the great route potential here but it was all so steep and rather hard looking. That was when I had an epiphany--Wow! I bet one could lean over from that boulder at the base and pull onto the wall above the steep section. Sport climbing and rap bolting were just coming to the forefront of climbing and we all accepted the style thinking it better to create an ideal climb top down as opposed to mucking things up free/aiding it from the base. So that is exactly what we did. I was the first to redpoint Cantaloupe. Ed followed up by doing the FA of the direct start and Yabo did Hot Lava Lucy. All good fun!
